Metita Mother's Day Feast

A Feast of Love and Tradition at Metita

Named after Michael's mother, Metita is a restaurant born from love — and there's no more fitting occasion to celebrate here than Mother's Day.

This year, Metita brings back a very special Toana'i; a Pacific Sunday feast steeped in family, memory and the flavours of home. The menu draws inspiration from her profound influence on his upbringing and honours her legacy with each dish.

This Toana'i is an invitation to join a Pacific tradition celebrated all over the world.

Includes bubbles or non-alcoholic on arrival, three-course sharing menu.

12pm–4pm last booking.

$110 per person, minimum two guests. $65 per child (up to 12 years of age) on the same menu, smaller portion size.
